LMAO!!

A dog is not something to be left untended outside all day long let alone a toy breed puppy! There are always kinder gentler ways to deal with potty training...would you put a toddler outside in diapers if she/he pee'd their training pants to teach them a lesson and continue to do this until they caught on?

Patience, Praise and Persistence is a virtue here! You cant expect a puppy to learn right from wrong without the three P's! Confinement in a bathroom with a pee pad or in a large crate while your gone and consistancy when you are home is your best method.

If it becomes an intolerable situation for your wife your puppy will feel the animosity, the puppy would then be better off being re-homed to a family that can take the time to train the pup properly before it becomes a habitual problem.

Wish you luck!
